ALEX MALCOLMSON

Growing up on the Shetlands, ALEX MALCOLMSON absorbed the seafaring folklore of his forbears. Coupled with a Fine Art degree at Edinburgh University, this heritage inspired his carvings of fish and sea-birds as well as the unusual ‘boxworks’ he constructs. These tableaux reflecting aspects of life at sea often have opening doors to reveal the mysteries within.

EMILY SUTTON

EMILY SUTTON, now well known for her distinctive illustrative work, shows a varied collection including perfectly observed soft sculpted song-birds in painted fabric decorated with embroidery.

VICKI WALTON

She became its first Curator as well as making her own pots for the gallery there. Vicki moved to France several years ago where she established a new Pottery. Her decoration and colour palette still reflect nuances of the Charleston tradition.

TESSA NEWCOMB

TESSA NEWCOMB, an East Anglian artist, enjoys depicting human and animal foibles in daily life. In her oil paintings of gardens, allotments, harvest festivals and dog shows, she creates an unwritten narrative for the onlooker to muse over. Tessa has a solo show at London’s Crane Kalman gallery concurrently with ‘Autumn Feast’.

GUY ROYLE

A new departure for well-known jeweller GUY ROYLE is a recent collection of small sculptures in bronze and brass. Based on female figures in mythology and ancient history, these stylised sculptures are incised, etched, and decorated in the inimitable manner of his gold and silver jewellery, bringing to mind Celtic and Egyptian artefacts.

His bangles and brooches are highlighted with 18ct gold, and the earrings in gold and silver are even more eye-catching than ever!
